On Monday afternoon, America Live host Megyn Kelly spoke with Mark Stevens, the founder of the global marketing firm MSCO and an advertiser for Rush Limbaugh‘s radio program who says his company has been targeted by people who want to put him out of business for his connection to the outspoken conservative host.

Earlier, Limbaugh had addressed the matter on his show, where he said that Stevens believes there is a coordinated attack on his business spearheaded by a group he wouldn’t name, but that Limbaugh was happy to — Media Matters.

Stevens, for his part, firmly intends to “double down” against what he describes as an act of “internal American terrorism.”

“You don’t have to strap on a suicide bomber’s belt to engage in terrorism,” he told Kelly, “Terrorism derives from the term ‘to invoke fear in people.’ They’ve called my people and my company, they’ve called the women at my company, and told them they’re women haters, the most horrible terms. They’ve told me — these are tens of thousands of emails, by the way, most of them are positive but the small group — they’ve told us that we’re under surveillance. The email subject line says ‘citizen of the internet,’ ‘police of the Internet,’ ‘Mark, you’re in danger,’ ‘your house is going to be surrounded by buses,’ ‘your business is going to be destroyed,’ ‘your people are in trouble.’ This is terrorism. Why don’t we start calling it what it is?”

24. Exactly! nt

3. Oh how rich!

This is just too rich to be believed! For two decades Limberger and his Pundit Pals have waged a war of social terrorism against the poor, the lower class, the minorities, etc and now that he's finally getting his comeuppance he wants to cry et tu brutei! Cry me a river, Rush! (And drown in it!)

My plan is to encourage as many as possible to tweet, Facebook, whatever, to each of these companies. When I tweet each of these companies, I'm going to ask them why they're getting public relations advice from a company whose CEO called me a terrorist because I don't like Rush Limbaugh being paid huge sums of money to call women sluts.

Oh, and MSCO's slogan (saw it several times on their website) seems to be: Your Company Sucks (but we can make it better).

33. Hey! That's *global* marketing firm MSCO

They're great at global marketing, I mean, I have heard of exactly one of those brands (through a Simpsons episode).

I wonder what the cross-over is between Limbaugh listeners and large corporations requiring a new marketing firm. There can't be much, if any, payback from advertising for a lot of these firms, so why are they advertising? Are they just funnelling cash to talking heads to further their own agendas? Surely the company shareholders should be asking questions about the governance of these corporations.

62. Not only calling Ms. Fluke slanderous/insulting names

but the next day going after her parents and family. The loathsomeness of this bloated, flaccid, gas sack is beyond words to describe. Let's hope MSCO is overwhelmed with emails, phone calls and letters. Let's terrorize the sonsabitches (no offense to canines) even worse than they've terrorized us and I mean all the crappy products advertized on the crap ass show too.

44. Poor Stevens surely is not a dumb f***, but has he started calling Rush's

45. He has it wrong--terrorism is using airwaves to spread hatred, racism, and bigotry...

Justice is using the power of public opinion to oppose those who promote same.

I can emphatically promise him that if his company will stop supporting those who push this bile that nobody would bother him. It's that simple. But if he wants to continue supporting this crap, he will face consequences.

46. Boo-hoo. Go wipe your tears on Limbaugh's boxers.

Terrorism? Really? And the FBI won't listen? The won't take the threats you describe seriously? Or is law enforcement in on the Liberal/Media Matters conspiracy? We all know how friendly the Homeland Security is to liberals.

No, the guy is just finding out that freedom of commerce can be bitch when it comes to your company doing business with nasty people. Commerce is apparently only really free in his mind when people buy his stuff. Sorry, pal, the consumer has the complete right to say where they'll spend their money after taxes, and for whatever reason. You're not being terrorized, you just didn't realize this.

I predict somebody's business is going down because his brain is hermetically sealed against this concept.

If you ask me, this guy has a standard of truth as mendacious as Limbaugh's.

53. It's the smallest taste of their own medicine

And I don't think it's being applied in sufficient doses yet.
If Pig Limbaugh was permanently banned from the airwaves this minute he'd still die a rich man.
F*ck him and his staff. They're all hand picked turds as rotten as he is.
Did that no talent sow boy think he was entitled to be on the air forever?
There are hundreds of radio shows that are now history. It's about f*cking time this piece of fascist sh*t was tossed in the same can as Lord Haw Haw.

59. So by Stevens' "reasoning"...

The Southern Baptists' boycott of Disney was an act of “internal American terrorism,” and the conservative religious women's group boycotting JCP because Ellen is advertising for them was an act of “internal American terrorism.”

60. So people and women are not the same thing at MSCO?

63. And what about Libaugh's attacks on women, on African-Americans, on the poor,

on the sick, on anyone who is weak. If people calling in and complaining, all verbal activity and exercise of free speech, about Limbaugh's attacks is terrorism, what about Limbaugh's attacks in the first place?
